Dear people,

I created a plot which looks like this:

Ee1<-matrix(c(88,86,74,62,41),ncol=5)
colnames(Ee1)<- c ("Lehrer ","Lehrerinnen","Klassenkollegen","Klassenkolleginnen","Geschwister")
par(las=1)
par(mar=c(5,13,4,2))
barplot(Ee1,horiz=T,col="grey85",border="NA",xlim=c(0,100),axes=F)
axis(2,pos=10, tick=T, tcl=F, labels=F,col="white")
axis(2,pos=20, tick=T, tcl=F, labels=F,col="white")
axis(2,pos=30, tick=T, tcl=F, labels=F,col="white")
axis(2,pos=40, tick=T, tcl=F, labels=F,col="white")
axis(2,pos=50, tick=T, tcl=F, labels=F,col="white")
axis(2,pos=60, tick=T, tcl=F, labels=F,col="white")
axis(2,pos=70, tick=T, tcl=F, labels=F,col="white")
axis(2,pos=80, tick=T, tcl=F, labels=F,col="white")
axis(2,pos=90, tick=T, tcl=F, labels=F,col="white")

Now I would like to shorten the whole thing - namely use only one step to
create the 9 axes without having to use a loop.

See if grid() is helpful:

barplot(Ee1,horiz=T,col="grey85",border="NA",xlim=c(0,100),axes=F)
grid(nx=9, ny=NA, col="white")

Somehow using axis to draw elements inside a graph seems "wrong", especially when you are using it for what is basically side-effect as you have been attempting. Could also have used abline which accepts a vector for its v argument.

> abline(v=seq(10,90,by=10), col="white")



In general, I would be interested if there is a way to use a function
several times changing only one argument, without having to use a loop.

A large number of functions will offer that facility using seq() as the functional input argument.

Does anyone know how to do that.

You might consider working in the settings for your mail client. I know that gmail offers that option.
